Uses

Leptospermum scoparium incanum High-NPA-Northland(NZ Native)

Leptospermum scoparium var. incanum is the dominant Northland variety that is linked to the unique antibacterial activity in Manuka honey. This seed is collected in Northland NZ from wild populations of naturally occurring Leptospermum scoparium var. incanum in an area were honey is harvested with high levels of MGO (Methylglyoxal), DHA (dihydroxyacetone)

MGO (Methylglyoxal) Scientific research has now proven that the naturally occurring compound methylglyoxal is what gives Manuka honey its unique Antibacterial Activity. It is found in high quantities in only some New Zealand Manuka Honey

DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) A Naturally occurring compound that is found in high quantities in Manuka flower nectar and honey. A precursor for Methylglyoxal.

The unique antibacterial activity in Manuka honey across the Northland region is among the highest and most consistent of any region of New Zealand.
